Abstract

There is provided a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes an icemaker for making and discharging ice, an ice bank for storing the ice discharged from the icemaker, an ice discharge duct for discharging the ice stored in the ice bank to the dispenser, and an approaching prevention unit that is disposed in the ice discharge duct to prevent a user from approaching the ice bank through the dispenser.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a refrigerator with an ice maker. Background technique [0002] Generally, a refrigerator is an electrical device capable of preserving food at a lower temperature. The refrigerator utilizes a refrigerant cycle to supply cool air to a storage compartment. [0003] An ice maker for making ice and discharging ice cubes may be installed in the refrigerator. The ice maker includes an ice crushing device that crushes ice and supplies the crushed ice cubes to a dispenser. The ice maker is connected to the dispenser through an ice discharge line. The dispenser is typically located on the front face of the door so that it is easily accessible to the user. [0004] However, since the refrigerator is designed so that the user has direct access to the ice maker through the ice discharge duct and dispenser, a child may put his / her hand in through the ice discharge duct and be injured by the ice crushing device. [0005] In add...
